WOW! FFXII really disappointed me!

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions (no one has to like the game but you, your the one whose gonna play it). I dont know exactly how accurate the following statement is but it goes something like this.... The Final Fantasy series has traditionaly been different from one instalment to the next, maintaning only minor similarities.

This time around they changed something they had not touched since the begining, They slightly modified the traditional TURN BASED action , FOR a SEMI AUTOMATED TURN BASED SYSTEM, if you ask me its a big step up that brings a new dimension to the way we play. you get to coustomize your parties actions. If you have played FFXI ou would know what im talking about.

In case you havent noticed IT STILL IS TURN BASED....it just looks different.

In other aspects like story and music you could argue that they were more than just a tad bland.  Even that vann looks like a girl. 

What im tired about is that everytime they change something in a FF we get an uproar of whining little @#$@ who cant seem to accept it and we start hearing all sorts of moronic rants.

FF XII battle system feels like MMORPG's boring battle system, worser because there is no friends with you to chat.  Bring back the good ol' turn base system!!

It doesn't look like it's coming back any time soon.:(

I don't really care what you like and don't like. If you want it to be a faster game, go change the battle speed to max and switch the "Wait" to "active"

Problem for me is that in my country Final Fantasy XII doesn't exist, i mean don't have an official Square importer.  And that's stupid. I got FF X and FX-2 and i really like it and i guess FF XII is awesome, for me.

Thank you. 

Ergh.. another person who can't take anything but real time and action in their RPGs....

They're good and all, I like them better than turn-based ones. As another poster said, turn the battle speed to max and put it on "Active" and you'll feel like it's an action RPG. "It's dumb when you can't block/evade/etc" Wow. Someone needs to learn to appreciate game styles other than the generic action game. X_X Go play Dynasty Warriors over and over again, dude. You'll get what you want there.

My friend lent me his FFXII a while ago. I was so excited to play it I couldn't wait for dismissal. When I got home I went to my room, turned on the tv and PS2, then placed the cd in the PS2. I was like "finally I'm going  to play FFXII!". The music was nice. After a long introduction, I can't wait for some battle because the battle system change. I really hate turn-based battle system because it's dumb when you can't block, evade/avoid/dodge enemies attack. Then here comes the first battle. I was so excited. But then...IT SUCKS! I thought pressing a certain button would attack an enemy! You know, pressing square several times means several attacks but it wasn't! I expected it'll be like Kingdom Hearts! But then you still have to choose "attack" then wait for a few seconds before your character attacks. I turned off the ps2 after the 3 soldier enemies after the first machine enemy. I played for just 2 minutes. I will return it to my friend tomorrow.skp_16
